Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: App KFI and kost In HT two, Los Angeles, Orange.
Speaker 3: County and Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, it is five o'clock. This is your wake up
Speaker 1: call for Wednesday, September eleventh.
Speaker 4: I'm Amy King.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's the anniversary of nine to eleven, the
Speaker 1: twenty third anniversary, always so sobering. Do you still remember
Speaker 1: exactly where you were what you were doing on nine eleven,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one.
Speaker 4: Never forget.
Speaker 1: I'll be talking more about this, but we'll just suffice
Speaker 1: it to say, never forget. Also on a happy note,
Speaker 1: leaving the house this morning, I walked outside and it
Speaker 1: was cool.
Speaker 4: The air was cool, and I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: So aside from probably the people who are close to
Speaker 1: the fires where the air quality is so bad, you know,
Speaker 1: you take a deep breath in and just go, ah,
Speaker 1: maybe fall, it's just around the corner, it was a
Speaker 1: nice change.
Speaker 4: So we got a ton going on. Of course, we've got.
Speaker 1: The fires, We've got fired up candidates from the presidential debates.
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro's fired up about the new iPhone. A show
Speaker 1: that's on fire with Emmy nominations is the focus of
Speaker 1: Amy's on it this hour, and that's all coming up
Speaker 1: in just the next sixty minutes.
Speaker 4: So strap yourself in. We got quite a ride for
Speaker 4: you this morning.
Speaker 1: Here is what is ahead on wake up Call and
Speaker 1: the latest on the fires burning in southern California. The
Speaker 1: fire in the San Gabriel Mountains has exploded to almost
Speaker 1: forty seven thousand acres, destroying homes and ing communities of
Speaker 1: right Wood and Mount Baldy. Mandatory evacuations were issued for
Speaker 1: areas including right Wood, Mount Baldy, and Pinion Hills. Residents
Speaker 1: of Northern Claremont are under evacuation warnings as the fire
Speaker 1: moves southeast. A man from Norco has been arrested for
Speaker 1: allegedly starting the fire in San Bernardino County that's burned
Speaker 1: more than thirty four thousand acres.
Speaker 4: Evacuations have been ordered for Big.
Speaker 1: Bear, Running Springs, Forest Falls, and other communities as the
Speaker 1: fire spreads. Major highways leading into Big Bear remain closed
Speaker 1: as fire crews work to control the blaze. The US
Speaker 1: has accused Iran of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia. Secretary
Speaker 1: of State Antony Blincoln says the US had warned Iran
Speaker 1: that giving missiles to Russia would be seen as a
Speaker 1: dramatic escalation. We're going to be talking with ABC's Shannon
Speaker 1: Kingston about what the US plans to do in response,
Speaker 1: coming up in less than five minutes. Let's get started
Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom on more than twenty two thousand
Speaker 1: acre wildfire in Orange County that started in Tribuco Canyon
Speaker 1: has been moving towards Lake Elsinore in Riverside County.
Speaker 5: The flames were driven by high heat winds in extremely
Speaker 5: dry conditions.
Speaker 6: You're looking at three to four foot tall grass with
Speaker 6: five to eight foot tall chaparral, and then the topography
Speaker 6: some of these slopes. You can see them right out
Speaker 6: to the east here. Some of them are barely hikable
Speaker 6: for even our most fit firefighters.
Speaker 5: That's Tal Hayes with the Cleveland National Forest. The fire
Speaker 5: started Monday while public works crews were moving large boulders
Speaker 5: with a front end loader. The flames moved quickly and
Speaker 5: have even threatened communication towers on Santiago Peak in Rancho
Speaker 5: Santa Margarita Steve Gregory Campine.
Speaker 1: News responders have been working hard to help people get
Speaker 1: out of the fire area.
Speaker 4: In the mountains.
Speaker 7: Deputies and police officers have been sounding high low alarms
Speaker 7: and knocking on doors. Samberdarino County Sheriff spokeswoman Maha Rodriguez
Speaker 7: says National Guard members have also been deployed, and they're.
Speaker 1: Really focusing on securing those areas that are under an
Speaker 1: evacuation order, helping us with any kind of voting issues
Speaker 1: or just any questions or concerns.
Speaker 7: A GPS app is being used to track where people
Speaker 7: have left their homes, where police couldn't make contact, and
Speaker 7: where people have chosen to stay in beaumap like trolley
Speaker 7: k if I Knews.
Speaker 1: Vice President Harrison former President Trump have argued over just
Speaker 1: about every topic that came up during their first presidential debate.
Speaker 1: The US withdrawal from Afghanistan was discussed, and Harris criticized
Speaker 1: Trump's deal with the Taliban.
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, when he was president, negotiated one of the
Speaker 8: weakest deals you can imagine. He calls himself a deal maker.
Speaker 8: Even his national security advisor said it was a weak,
Speaker 8: terrible deal.
Speaker 1: Trump said for eighteen months before the withdrawal. There weren't
Speaker 1: any problems with the Taliban because of a deal he
Speaker 1: negotiated with them as president, but he says the Biden
Speaker 1: Harris administration didn't stick to the agreements.
Speaker 2: Well getting out.
Speaker 9: We would have been out faster than that, but we
Speaker 9: wouldn't have lost the soldiers, we wouldn't have left many
Speaker 9: Americans behind, and we wouldn't have left we wouldn't have
Speaker 9: left a eighty five billion dollars worth of brand new,
Speaker 9: beautiful military equipment behind.
Speaker 1: Another topic that came up was race. Trump questioned Harris's
Speaker 1: race again but says he doesn't care. Harris argued Trump
Speaker 1: called for executing the now exonerated Central Park five in
Speaker 1: New York. The five teens were wrongfully convicted of raping
Speaker 1: a woman. A remembrance event is going to be held
Speaker 1: at the Flight ninety three National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Today marks twenty three years since the nine to eleven attacks,
Speaker 1: when hijackers took control of four airplanes. Two crashed into
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center towers in New York, one hit
Speaker 1: the Pentagon, the other crashed into the field. President Biden
Speaker 1: and Vice President Harris are expected to make an appearance
Speaker 1: at the Flight ninety three memorial. Let's say good morning too,
Speaker 1: ABC's Shannon Kingston. Shannon, the US and UK are making
Speaker 1: accusations and taking some action against Iran.
Speaker 4: What's going on, good morning?
Speaker 10: Well, that's right. The concern here is that this could
Speaker 10: open up a new chapter of escalation in Russia's invasion
Speaker 10: of Ukraine, because now the US and UK they formally
Speaker 10: accused Ran of supplying Russia with short range missiles. Now,
Speaker 10: the fear here is that that frees up longer range
Speaker 10: munitions that Russia could use against areas of Ukraine that
Speaker 10: have been largely unscathed by the war. I'm talking about
Speaker 10: Leviv areas near Poland, which of course is a NATO country.
Speaker 10: And if there's any overlap there, that triggers a whole
Speaker 10: bunch of concerns about drawing NATO and the US into
Speaker 10: that conflict.
Speaker 1: Okay, And with this official accusation that the short range
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles are being supplied to Russia, is this a
Speaker 1: new development or has it been going on for a
Speaker 1: while and they're just now acknowledging it.
Speaker 10: It has been percolating for some time. There's been concern,
Speaker 10: there's been warning from the US and his allies that
Speaker 10: if Iran does follow through and actually complete these shipments
Speaker 10: of me missions, there will be consequences. But this is
Speaker 10: the first time we've actually had official confirmation from the
Speaker 10: US and the UK. Now, Iran support for Russia's war
Speaker 10: is not new, of course, They've been giving UAVs and
Speaker 10: other material support to Russia for months and months now.
Speaker 10: This is just a step up in that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're actually doing the sanctions, are we're threatening
Speaker 1: the sanctions?
Speaker 10: We have imposed sanctions. But here's the problem with US
Speaker 10: sanctions on Iran. There are already a whole lot of them,
Speaker 10: so there's really not much more that the Biden administration
Speaker 10: can do at this time. They did roll out sanctions
Speaker 10: against Iran air that's Iran's main airline, but that has
Speaker 10: been under sanctioned by the US for more than a decade.
Speaker 10: What's really consequential here, Potentially, it's the sanctions that are
Speaker 10: being ruled out by the European allies that's the UK, France,
Speaker 10: and Germany because they do have more economic overlap with Iran.
Speaker 10: They've already moved to cut off flights from Iran kind
Speaker 10: of go back on some of those bilateral flight agreements,
Speaker 10: and they say they're also looking into imposing their own
Speaker 10: sanctions and that could crunch Tron's economy further.
Speaker 1: Okay, and do do sanctions now, Shannon, have anything to
Speaker 1: do with reports that Iran is enriching more uranium and
Speaker 1: getting closer to having capability to build a nuclear bomb
Speaker 1: or is it just sort of coincidental?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, well, the sanctions that are already in place, that's
Speaker 10: what that's the main issue at hand between the US
Speaker 10: and Iran. Of course, when the US exited the jcpoa
Speaker 10: that Obama era a nuclear deal that was supposed to
Speaker 10: constrain around nuclear program, they reimposed every sanction on the book.
Speaker 10: Some of that was eventually alleviated a bitter in the
Speaker 10: Biden administration as they were trying to renegotiate that contract.
Speaker 10: It did allow Iran to increase some of its oil
Speaker 10: experts oil exports rather, but basically that is still the
Speaker 10: underlying the elephant in the room, if you will, between
Speaker 10: the US and Uran, and really European allies are concerned
Speaker 10: as well. They just don't have the same terror designation
Speaker 10: on the IRGC that the US does, so that's a
Speaker 10: difference here.
Speaker 1: Okay, and how does this all vote for the US
Speaker 1: around our run relationship and discussions of possibly restarting the
Speaker 1: Iron nuclear Deal.
Speaker 10: I'd say that's been pessimistic that that could possibly happen, especially,
Speaker 10: you know, heading into we're in't an election year, the
Speaker 10: election cycle is in full swing. I've seen as politically
Speaker 10: risky by the Democrats if they were to resume talks
Speaker 10: on that front. And also there's a lot of political
Speaker 10: will on either side, it seems because even though Iran
Speaker 10: has new leadership, allegedly more moderate, it just hasn't been
Speaker 10: a lot of outreach. And of course, seeing this step
Speaker 10: here to complete the delivery of missiles to the Kremlin,
Speaker 10: they you know, Roon knew how this was going to play.
Speaker 10: They knew it wasn't going to vode well for them.
Speaker 10: So I think it's a cult relationship that's growing colder.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: And aside from the money, what does Iran get out
Speaker 1: of supplying the ballistic missile missiles to Russia?
Speaker 10: So the US says that in it, of course money
Speaker 10: Around's economy is not there's not a lot of revenue options,
Speaker 10: so this is an important factor. But the US says
Speaker 10: they're also getting intelligence from Russia, and that intelligence does
Speaker 10: include connected to nuclear issues. So again, another underlying ferure
Speaker 10: is that information supplied by Russia could accelerate Auran's already
Speaker 10: rapidly growing nuclear program and take them closer to being
Speaker 10: able to develop a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1: All right, Shannon Kingston, ABC News, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for explaining everything and giving us some insight into what's
Speaker 1: going on overseas.
Speaker 4: Appreciate it, of course, thanks for your time. All Right, let's.
Speaker 1: Get back to some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A jury in LA
Speaker 1: has convicted a homeless man of stabbing a UCLA grad
Speaker 1: student to death.
Speaker 2: Peter said Sean Smith recorded himself expressing a desire to
Speaker 2: kill women inside a furniture store in Hancock Park in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. He stabbed Brionna Cooper eleven times, even
Speaker 2: recording the audio of her final pleas for help. Cooper's mother,
Speaker 2: Laurie Cooper, says she's grateful for yesterday's verdict.
Speaker 11: The DA didn't a wonderful job and the jury's the
Speaker 11: jury really listened to the evidence that they heard.
Speaker 2: Smith now faces a sentence of life without parole in
Speaker 2: downtown La Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Parol has been denied for the Santana High School shooter
Speaker 1: in San Diego County. And He Williams killed two people
Speaker 1: and wounded thirteen others in Santee in two thousand and
Speaker 1: one and was denied parole after serving less than half
Speaker 1: of his fifty years to life in prison sentence San
Speaker 1: Diego County DA Summer Stephen says the denial was a
Speaker 1: relief to the victims' families.
Speaker 12: Their kids are not coming home. They don't have a
Speaker 12: release date from the death sentence that and Williams gave them,
Speaker 12: So this is some solace is to have the denial
Speaker 12: of parole for this horrific act.
Speaker 1: Williams will be back up for parole in just three years.
Speaker 1: Orange County Supervisor Andrew Doe has been stripped of all
Speaker 1: board and committee assignments. He has been accused of directing
Speaker 1: millions of dollars in contracts toward a nonprofit linked to
Speaker 1: his daughter and didn't disclose her involvement. The supervisors are
Speaker 1: expected to vote on censuring Dough during its next board meeting.
Speaker 1: More pregnant women are being forced to travel further to
Speaker 1: deliver their babies. Or go without pre natal care. A
Speaker 1: March of Dimes report found that over a third of
Speaker 1: counties in the US are maternity care deserts. That means
Speaker 1: they don't have a single doctor, nurse, or midwife who
Speaker 1: specializes in maternity care. The report predicts the US is
Speaker 1: going to face a shortage of twelve to fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: obgyns by twenty fifty one. Angelino, who gave up acting
Speaker 1: for nearly two decades, is giving it another shot, and
Speaker 1: now they're there's a movie based on his life story.
Speaker 5: Rich Grosso took a fifteen year hiatus from Hollywood to
Speaker 5: pay the bills, raise his kids, and be a family man.
Speaker 5: But now, after years of being burned down, he's stepping
Speaker 5: into the limelight with a full feature that's loosely based
Speaker 5: around his life.
Speaker 13: And when I got back on set, it hit me
Speaker 13: it was like cathartic, like oh my gosh, I gave
Speaker 13: this up and now I got a second bite at
Speaker 13: the apple.
Speaker 5: Grosso recruited the talents of award winning short film director
Speaker 5: and writer Stephen Ward to direct the movie.
Speaker 9: It's about storytelling, and this was storytelling at its best.
Speaker 5: I think Grosso and Wards say the production was made
Speaker 5: with mostly volunteers. As far as the audience goes, Grosso says,
Speaker 5: this film isn't really made for Gen Z or millennials,
Speaker 5: but rather the baby boomer population.
Speaker 13: They're used to going to the movies for what we
Speaker 13: call their content.
Speaker 5: You know, we used to all going to the movies.
Speaker 13: Now it's where we seek out our content. Well, the
Speaker 13: knee jerk reaction of that demographic is going to the cinema,
Speaker 13: and they weren't making this type of film for my
Speaker 13: generation anymore, and I personally missed it.
Speaker 5: Don't say it is about real people of the Boomer
Speaker 5: generation that have been kicked around by life and still
Speaker 5: fight through their demons every day in the pursuit of
Speaker 5: love and happiness. The movie made its debut on August
Speaker 5: thirty first at the Studio City International Film Festival, and
Speaker 5: it's currently in a limited run at the Landmark Pasadena
Speaker 5: Playhouse until September twelfth. Andrew Caravella KFI News.
Speaker 1: Oh that's tomorrow, Andrew, we gotta go see that, like
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow. The fire that started in Tribuco Canyon
Speaker 1: has grown to more than twenty two thousand acres in
Speaker 1: just two days, and it's spreading into Riverside County. The
Speaker 1: fires burning in steep rugged mountain terrain. Evacuations remain in
Speaker 1: place for the Robinson Ranch community and have been expanded
Speaker 1: to communities along the Ortega Highway near Casper's Park. The
Speaker 1: fire burning in the Angelus National Forest has exploded in
Speaker 1: nearly forty seven thousand acres as it burns toward right
Speaker 1: Wood and near Mount Baldy and part of Pinion Hills.
Speaker 1: The fire in San Bernardino County is fourteen percent and surrounded.
Speaker 1: It's burned more than thirty four thousand acres. Smoke and
Speaker 1: ash from the fire has traveled as far south as Temecula.
Speaker 1: The air quality in most of Riverside in San Bernardino
Speaker 1: Counties is considered unhealthy or very unhealthy. People around the
Speaker 1: globe are remembering the victims of the nine to eleven
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks on this twenty third anniversary. Family members are
Speaker 1: gathering with local leaders in Lower Manhattan for the annual
Speaker 1: reading of the victims' names. During the ceremony, there will
Speaker 1: be six moments of silence to mark when both World
Speaker 1: Trade Center towers were struck and fell, when the Pentagon
Speaker 1: was attacked, and when United Flight ninety three crashed in
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania at.
Speaker 4: Six oh five.
Speaker 1: It's handle on the news. The gloves came off pretty
Speaker 1: quickly at the presidential debate. Bill's going to have a
Speaker 1: lot to say about that. Right now, let's say good
Speaker 1: morning to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI
Speaker 1: KTLA's tech reporter Rich Dmiro.
Speaker 4: Morning, Rich.
Speaker 14: Hey, good morning to Amy.
Speaker 1: So you're doing fun stuff playing with new toys this
Speaker 1: week week.
Speaker 14: Yes, we've got all new gadgets from Apple. Not only
Speaker 14: did they announce and show off new iPhone sixteen and
Speaker 14: sixteen Pro models, but also new air pods and new
Speaker 14: Apple Watches. So a lot to get through. Which one
Speaker 14: do you want to hear about first?
Speaker 1: Well, I want to hear if there's anything revolutionary about
Speaker 1: the new iPhone.
Speaker 4: First.
Speaker 14: Well, you know, so on the smaller models, you know,
Speaker 14: very similar, obviously upgraded when it comes to the cameras
Speaker 14: and the kind of battery life, but they're very similar
Speaker 14: to the last model. On the pro models, that's where
Speaker 14: a lot of the upgrades happened. Both models have this
Speaker 14: new thing called Camera Control. This is an extra button
Speaker 14: on the phone that lets you not only launch the
Speaker 14: camera but also use it as a shutter. So now
Speaker 14: you can just in one snap, just open that camera
Speaker 14: up with this with this dedicated button, and then press
Speaker 14: that again to take a picture. So it's a lot faster.
Speaker 14: I like that.
Speaker 4: Where's the button which side?
Speaker 14: So it's when you hold the camera horizontally or the
Speaker 14: phone horizontally. It's on the top, so almost like a
Speaker 14: real dedicated shutter button. So it's gonna take some getting
Speaker 14: used to muscle memory, but I will tell you already
Speaker 14: I've learned. It frees up one icon on your home
Speaker 14: screen because you don't need the camera icon anymore on
Speaker 14: your home screen. So that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and I like that they're making the move
Speaker 1: back to it, you know, where it feels like what
Speaker 1: a camera used to feel like maybe a little bit.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and especially on that pro model, they are really
Speaker 14: making this like perfect for content creators like myself, because
Speaker 14: not only do you have that dedicated button, but they've
Speaker 14: also made I mean, nerds are nerding out over this
Speaker 14: like four K, one hundred and twenty frames video, which
Speaker 14: is like super high resolution and you can slow it
Speaker 14: down audio. They have improved the audio. Amy you might
Speaker 14: get a kick out of this. They have four studio
Speaker 14: quality mics now, and we got a demo where you
Speaker 14: can literally use this phone to film a movie, or
Speaker 14: film voiceover work or record voiceover work. Because the microphones
Speaker 14: are that good. Obviously, that's going to take a little testing.
Speaker 14: Pricing remains the same as last year, starting at eight
Speaker 14: hundred dollars for the standard models, starting at one thousand
Speaker 14: dollars for the Pro models, and of course AI coming soon.
Speaker 14: It's not launching with these devices. Next month is when
Speaker 14: we'll see the AI updates.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, so was it supposed to launch right now
Speaker 1: or did we know that it was going to be
Speaker 1: later that AI would be rolled out.
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, I think it's delayed. I think ideally, come on,
Speaker 14: if you're Apple, you wanted to launch this day and
Speaker 14: date with your new phones. I don't think it's ready.
Speaker 14: I think they want to get it right. But the
Speaker 14: reality is if people are thinking of upgrading, you know
Speaker 14: you're going to want to get these new phones or
Speaker 14: have the iPhone fifteen Pro models to get the AI.
Speaker 14: So I think if Apple had their way, they would
Speaker 14: have had AI ready on the day these phones are available,
Speaker 14: which is next Friday, by the way, But they don't
Speaker 14: they never announced the date when they said AI would
Speaker 14: be available, but clearly this is delayed. You don't launch
Speaker 14: software a month and a half after the phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, Well, but better to roll it out probably
Speaker 1: and have it kind of bug free rather than roll
Speaker 1: it out when it's kind of not ready for primetime.
Speaker 14: Right, yeah, exactly. And this is Apple. They're a big company.
Speaker 14: A lot of people use these phones. By the way,
Speaker 14: one more thing, two more things on the iPhones.
Speaker 12: Ye.
Speaker 14: First off, if you have an iPhone that you like,
Speaker 14: that software update to iOS eighteen that's happening on September sixteenth,
Speaker 14: so that will be a free update four days before
Speaker 14: the new phone's launch. That'll give you a bunch of
Speaker 14: new features. But one new feature that I'm very excited about, Amy,
Speaker 14: you can now finally pause video in the middle of
Speaker 14: a recording. That's something you could do on Android for
Speaker 14: a long time. That feature is finally coming to the iPhone.
Speaker 4: Well, it's about time they caught up. Huh okay, say
Speaker 4: that way? Yeah, okay, So tell me about the new AirPods.
Speaker 14: Yeah. So Airpod's for really really small now they have
Speaker 14: a noise cancelation model, so you basically can choose do
Speaker 14: you want to pay for noise cancelation or not, and
Speaker 14: so the a really nice. The noise cancelation is pretty
Speaker 14: good from my experience and testing them out. These are
Speaker 14: just really small now this time around, so I think
Speaker 14: they're gonna sell a ton of these. One hundred and
Speaker 14: twenty nine dollars without noise cancelation one hundred and eighty
Speaker 14: dollars with noise cancelation. If you jump up to the
Speaker 14: pro model of the air pods AirPods Pro two, those
Speaker 14: are actually getting a function that will double as hearing aids.
Speaker 14: You fake hearing.
Speaker 4: Aids like real hearing aids.
Speaker 14: Yes, really like clinical grade hearing aids. You can take
Speaker 14: a hearing test from your iPhone and it will adjust
Speaker 14: the acoustics on your AirPods that they function as legitimate
Speaker 14: hearing aids. That's pretty incredible. I think a lot of
Speaker 14: people are going to use this feature because maybe they
Speaker 14: don't want regular hearing aids and now they can have
Speaker 14: them through these AirPods.
Speaker 1: I gotta get these from my mom, so, but they're
Speaker 1: going to be air pods, so it's not like you
Speaker 1: can it's not a hearing aid that you put in
Speaker 1: your and you don't see it's your action AirPods.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's not discreet, but I think that might actually
Speaker 14: have some pros for people because you know, a air
Speaker 14: you know, hearing ads are very expensive. Plus it's it's
Speaker 14: kind of a process. But if you're on the edge
Speaker 14: or on the fringe and you want something that can
Speaker 14: just help you hear in conversations, yeah, I mean, are
Speaker 14: you gonna wear them to a restaurant that will be well,
Speaker 14: that remains to be seen. The well see, there you go.
Speaker 14: But opening up access I think is a great thing.
Speaker 14: And by the way, these are about two hundred and
Speaker 14: eighty dollars versus you know, several thousand for you know,
Speaker 14: regular hearing aids. So it's only a good thing I think.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, Now let's talk about the Apple I Watch
Speaker 1: it or the Apple Watches, because there's a couple fun
Speaker 1: little features.
Speaker 4: One it helps detect sleep apnea.
Speaker 14: Now, yeah, as you can see the trend here, Apple
Speaker 14: is just all about health these days, and so yes,
Speaker 14: if you wear the new Apple Watch Series ten or
Speaker 14: even the old Series nine or the Ultras, they will
Speaker 14: detect sleep appna and so you know, it looks at
Speaker 14: little micro movements in your wrist and it will send
Speaker 14: you notification saying, hey, we think you have sleep apnia.
Speaker 14: Go talk to a doctor. Here's a principal PDF you
Speaker 14: can bring to them with all of your information. And
Speaker 14: so I thought that was pretty pretty interesting as well.
Speaker 1: But that means you have to sleep with it on,
Speaker 1: and I can't sleep with it on because it doesn't
Speaker 1: I have to charge it at night while I'm sleeping.
Speaker 14: Well, funny you would say that because the new Apple
Speaker 14: watches are thinner so you don't mind wearing them to bed,
Speaker 14: and the battery lasts a little bit longer, so yes,
Speaker 14: you would have to figure out a way to charge
Speaker 14: the Apple Watch. This is my problem with the Apple Watch.
Speaker 14: I don't wear it to sleep because it's like you
Speaker 14: have to figure out where to charge it. Some people
Speaker 14: charge it right before bed, some people charge it while
Speaker 14: they're in the shower. But I think the Apple Watch
Speaker 14: also charges faster now, so fifteen minutes of charging gives
Speaker 14: you eight hours of use, which is kind of like
Speaker 14: the sleep time. So if you could charge it for
Speaker 14: fifteen minutes before you go to bed, now you can
Speaker 14: check for sleep apnea and get your sleep stats.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then there's another new feature that will allow
Speaker 1: us to listen to KFI on the Apple Watch.
Speaker 14: Yes, just the small thing, but I thought this was
Speaker 14: kind of cool. This is coming to the series ten
Speaker 14: and also the Ultra watches where you can now use
Speaker 14: the speaker on the watch to listen to audio like
Speaker 14: you know, music and podcasts like the Kfi whatever you
Speaker 14: want to listen to. That is a change. Used to
Speaker 14: not be able to do that. Only thing you could
Speaker 14: do through the speaker was listen to or talk to
Speaker 14: Siri and also make phone calls. Now if you forget
Speaker 14: your headphones or you just want to you know, people
Speaker 14: take a walk sometimes and they just want to listen
Speaker 14: out loud. Not saying you do it, you know, in
Speaker 14: public with a million people around, but you know, if
Speaker 14: you're on a trail by yourself, why not.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the phone or the air pods can't pair
Speaker 1: with the watch though, right, No they can?
Speaker 14: Yeah, oh they can't. You conmpare the air pods. Yeah,
Speaker 14: this is just again I think Apple's getting to the
Speaker 14: point where they're just giving people more options. So, yes,
Speaker 14: the deal is that you're at the gym or you're
Speaker 14: on a run, you have AirPods with your watch. But
Speaker 14: now if you forgot them, or you just want to
Speaker 14: have your ears open to the world and still listen
Speaker 14: to something, have a companion. Then you can use the
Speaker 14: speaker on your watch to listen to something.
Speaker 4: And it's always good to have KFI as your companion.
Speaker 14: Nice companion.
Speaker 1: Okay, Rich is going to have tons more to talk about,
Speaker 1: more in depth with all of the new toys as
Speaker 1: they call him from Apple that have been unveiled, Lots
Speaker 1: and lots of good tech information and you can hear
Speaker 1: him on rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven to two.
Speaker 1: You can see him on KTLA and you can follow
Speaker 1: him on Instagram at rich on Tech. You can also
Speaker 1: check out his website, rich on Tech, rich on Tech
Speaker 1: dot tv.
Speaker 4: Rich Jimiro, thank you so much for your information.
Speaker 12: As always, thank you, Amy.
Speaker 14: Have a great day, all right.
Speaker 1: The fire in the San Gabriel Mountains has exploded to
Speaker 1: almost forty seven thousand acres yesterday it was to get
Speaker 1: four thousand. Homes have been destroyed and the fires threatening
Speaker 1: communities of Brightwood and Mount Baldy. Mandatory evacuations are in place.
Speaker 1: Residents of Northern Claremont are under evacuation warnings as the
Speaker 1: fire it moves to the southeast. A man from Norco
Speaker 1: has been arrested for allegedly starting the fire in San
Speaker 1: Bernardino County that has burned over thirty four thousand acres
Speaker 1: it started a week ago. Evacuations are in place for
Speaker 1: Big Bear, Running Springs, Forest Falls, and other communities as
Speaker 1: the fire spreads. A case of dengay has been confirmed
Speaker 1: in Baldwin Park. This is the third ever confirmed case
Speaker 1: of locally transmitted dengay in California that's not travel related.
Speaker 1: Public health officials say the potential risk for widespread transmission
Speaker 1: of the virus remains low in La County.
Speaker 4: At six oh five, is handle on the news.
Speaker 1: As I just mentioned, it's been twenty three years since
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and some families are still trying to
Speaker 1: hold Saudi Arabia accountable. I'll let you know if they're
Speaker 1: making any progress. At five point fifty, we're going to
Speaker 1: take a look at the good, the bad, and the
Speaker 1: ugly from last night's presidential debate with ABC's Stephen Portnoy.
Speaker 12: Amy's on it, Amy's on this, as on it, on it?
Speaker 4: What am I on? I'm on the stream?
Speaker 1: Lots of movies lots of TV shows, documentaries, you name it,
Speaker 1: I'm watching it. And the hope here is that I
Speaker 1: can direct you to some some things that are worth
Speaker 1: your time and maybe direct you away from some shows
Speaker 1: that just really aren't worth your time. This one is.
Speaker 1: It's called Showgun. It's on Hulu. There are ten episodes.
Speaker 1: It was just released this year, so it's it's a
Speaker 1: newer show, and I had not planned on watching this.
Speaker 1: Showgun really just isn't my kind of show. As you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a Disney person. I love rom coms, I like
Speaker 1: action movies, that kind of stuff. This just didn't peak
Speaker 1: my interest. But it's been nominated for twenty five Emmys.
Speaker 1: That's record breaking. It just won fourteen Emmys at the
Speaker 1: Creative Emmy Awards, and we'll find out how it does
Speaker 1: when the rest of the Emmys are awarded on Sunday night,
Speaker 1: because the big ceremonies this Sunday. The series follows the
Speaker 1: story of John Blackthorne. He's an English sailor. He gets
Speaker 1: shipwrecked in Japan, and then there's Lord Toranaga, who's a
Speaker 1: powerful leader who has fallen out of favor in the
Speaker 1: ruling party. This is all based on a book, and
Speaker 1: apparently it pretty much follows the book.
Speaker 4: It's just as opposed to there was a movie Showgun.
Speaker 1: But this really gives you the opportunity to really dig
Speaker 1: deep into the storylines. It's set against the backdrop of
Speaker 1: politics and power struggles in Japan, and in Japan, death
Speaker 1: is preferable to dishonor, so there's a lot of death
Speaker 1: because they don't want to be dishonored. But I would
Speaker 1: say that the series pretty much grabs you from the beginning.
Speaker 1: It's beautifully shot, and as they introduce the characters to you,
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out who's on which side, who's
Speaker 1: going to fight for whom, what secrets the characters have,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen next. There's romance, there's betrayal, there's battles,
Speaker 1: there's forbidden love, and there are unlikely alliances. You really
Speaker 1: have to pay attention because I had to rewind the
Speaker 1: show one time because again, there's a lot going on
Speaker 1: and I had totally missed like a major thing. So
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is a show you need
Speaker 1: to actually sit down and watch. And the other thing
Speaker 1: that lends itself to really sitting down and watching is
Speaker 1: because it's Japanese and English, there's a lot of subtitles,
Speaker 1: so you really have to pay attention to what's going on.
Speaker 1: The show is brutal, it's violent. Sometimes it's soft and kind,
Speaker 1: but more brutal and violent than soft and kind. Interesting
Speaker 1: to watch that the in this show that Japanese puts
Speaker 1: so much emphasis on honor, being polite, respectful in society
Speaker 1: and the way that they talk and address each other,
Speaker 1: and then on the other hand, they're just absolutely brutal
Speaker 1: and jarring, and they chop off each other's heads all
Speaker 1: the time, like it happens all the time, and in
Speaker 1: the firm I'm not giving anything away by telling you this.
Speaker 4: In the one of the first scenes of the.
Speaker 1: Show, they literally boil somebody and I was like, who
Speaker 1: does that? Well, apparently back in the day that's what
Speaker 1: they did. I haven't read the book. I didn't know
Speaker 1: what to expect, and I loved it. If you have
Speaker 1: read the book, I think you're still going to love
Speaker 1: it because it was really shot beautifully.
Speaker 4: The question now, is is this the end?
Speaker 1: Because the show follows the book, and apparently, according to
Speaker 1: the producers, it ends the way the book ends, But
Speaker 1: is there more story to tell.
Speaker 4: There might not have been, but now they're talking that.
Speaker 4: The co creators are saying there might be an FX
Speaker 4: in Hulu, and the estate of the author of the book,
Speaker 4: James Clavell, says they're working to extend the critically acclaimed
Speaker 4: global hit drama Showgun and moving the story forward. I
Speaker 4: would watch that so Showgun. It's on Hulu. It's up
Speaker 4: for twenty five mm. He's already one fourteen. I'm on it.
Speaker 4: I think you should be two. It's a good watch.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The donation of
Speaker 1: two police dogs that originally stalled in la have now
Speaker 1: been accepted.
Speaker 2: The city Council voted nine to five to accept two
Speaker 2: canines trained by Adler Horst International Facility with the same
Speaker 2: name as one of Adolf Hitler's bunkers. Council woman Unsses
Speaker 2: Hernandez objected, saying a letter asserting there's no connection between
Speaker 2: the two wasn't good enough.
Speaker 4: Assurances do not remove the historical weight and trauma that
Speaker 4: the name Alderhors still carries.
Speaker 2: Earlier this year, the council delayed voting on the donation
Speaker 2: by the Lapd Foundation asking for further vetting of Adler,
Speaker 2: Horst and any Nazi overtones. The donation has valued at
Speaker 2: more than twenty six thousand dollars in downtown La Michael
Speaker 2: Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump and Vice President Harris have argued over
Speaker 1: a lot of topics at their first and possibly only
Speaker 1: presidential debate. Harris started off saying she and President Biden
Speaker 1: had to clean up after the Trump administration.
Speaker 11: Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.
Speaker 11: Donald Trump left us the worst public health epidemic in
Speaker 11: a century.
Speaker 1: Trump defended his administration's response to the pandemic and said
Speaker 1: the Biden administration benefited from bounce back jobs. He says
Speaker 1: the economy is in worse shape now.
Speaker 9: We have inflation like very few people have ever seen before,
Speaker 9: probably the worst in our nation's history.
Speaker 12: We were at.
Speaker 9: Twenty one percent, but that's being generous because many things
Speaker 9: are fifty, sixty, seventy and eighty percent higher than they
Speaker 9: were just a few years ago.
Speaker 1: On the issue of abortion, which a lot of time
Speaker 1: was spent on, Harris claimed Trump would sign a national
Speaker 1: abortion band. He said that he wouldn't have to because
Speaker 1: the issue is now up to states. Taylor Swift is
Speaker 1: announced she's going to be voting for Vice President Harris
Speaker 1: for president. She put out a statement last night after
Speaker 1: the debate saying she supports Harris because she fights for
Speaker 1: the rights and causes that Swift believes need a warrior
Speaker 1: to champion them. Swift encouraged her fans to do their
Speaker 1: own research and come up with their own conclusion of
Speaker 1: who they want to vote for. Tonight, the Dodgers take
Speaker 1: on the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium, with the first
Speaker 1: pitch going out at seven. You can listen to every
Speaker 1: play on AM five seventy LA Sports and stream all
Speaker 1: the games in HD on the iHeartRadio app keyword AM
Speaker 1: five seventy LA Sports. The best casino in the Southland
Speaker 1: is Marongo Casino Resort and SPA Good Times.
Speaker 4: Five six a m.
Speaker 1: Was the time that Flight eleven hit the World Trade
Speaker 1: Center North Tower. A moment of silence was held at
Speaker 1: the Memorial and Museum in New York City this morning.
Speaker 1: It still brings me to tears. Twenty three years later.
Speaker 1: Five more moments of silence are going to be held
Speaker 1: this morning to mark the time the second plane hit
Speaker 1: at six three and then two more for the time
Speaker 1: each tower fell, the time the plane hit the Pentagon,
Speaker 1: and then that sixth moment of silence will mark the
Speaker 1: moment that United Flight ninety three crashed into a field
Speaker 1: in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A data Remember and never forget. Here's
Speaker 1: what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom
Speaker 1: and the latest on the fire is burning in southern California.
Speaker 1: The fire that started in Tribuco Canyon has grown to
Speaker 1: more than twenty two thousand acres in just two days
Speaker 1: and is spreading into Riverside County. Evacuations remain in place
Speaker 1: for the Robinson Ranch community and have been expanded to
Speaker 1: communities along the Ortega Highway near Casper's Park. The fire
Speaker 1: burning in the Angelus National Forest has exploded to nearly
Speaker 1: forty seven thousand acres as it burns toward Rightwood and
Speaker 1: Mount Baldy and part of Penyon Hills. The fire in
Speaker 1: San Bernardino County is fourteen percent surrounded. Smoke and ash
Speaker 1: from that thirty four thousand acre fire has traveled as
Speaker 1: far south as Temecula. The La City Council's approved to
Speaker 1: twenty two percent sewer service rate hikes starting in October.
Speaker 1: Several feet increases will follow until twenty twenty eight, when
Speaker 1: sewer rates will be double what they are today. City
Speaker 1: officials say the increases are needed to maintain operations and
Speaker 1: improve aging infrastructure.
Speaker 4: Mayor bastilest to approve it.
Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handle on the news this morning,
Speaker 1: and Israeli official has floated a controversial new idea trade
Speaker 1: safe passage for Hamas's leader in exchange for the release
Speaker 1: of the hostages. Right now, let's say good morning to
Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Portnite. So Stephen, what are your takeaways from
Speaker 1: last night's one and possibly only debate?
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's a debate over debates this morning. What was
Speaker 15: going to be another one? And that's part of the story,
Speaker 15: because look, the pundits came away from last night with
Speaker 15: a very clear and universal takeaway that it was Kamala
Speaker 15: Harris's night that Trump was on defense most of the night,
Speaker 15: particularly on issues such as abortion, where Harris really had
Speaker 15: some very strong lines going after Trump for what she
Speaker 15: said where the Trump abortion bans Now it's her phrasing
Speaker 15: all the country. She talked about the struggles that the
Speaker 15: families go through now with women, she says, having to
Speaker 15: bleed out before they can have emergency of abortion care.
Speaker 15: What you were putting women through is unconscionable, Harris told Trump,
Speaker 15: and so that was a powerful moment for her. Trump
Speaker 15: was on defense when it comes to election denihilism. He
Speaker 15: doubled down. He said he was sarcastic when in recent
Speaker 15: interviews he's done. He said he's lost by a whisker.
Speaker 15: He attempted to litigate this bizarre online conspiracy theory about
Speaker 15: migrants consuming household pets in the town of Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 15: And on the whole, it was, as I say, Trump
Speaker 15: being put on the defense, taking the bait, you know,
Speaker 15: as Harris tried to point out that there were times
Speaker 15: where people leave Trump's rallies when he starts talking about,
Speaker 15: you know, Hannibal Lecter and windmills causing cancer. And Trump
Speaker 15: went on that bizarre version about what's what said to
Speaker 15: be going on in Springfield, Ohio, which the town manager
Speaker 15: there tells ab seniors there's no credible.
Speaker 4: Evidence of it. Yeah, it was interesting. You mentioned the baiting.
Speaker 1: She came out of the shoot baiting him, and you could,
Speaker 1: I mean, you could hear it. You could just go, Okay, yep,
Speaker 1: she's going She's doing exactly.
Speaker 4: What everybody said she needed to.
Speaker 1: Do, because they were like, you gotta bait him, and
Speaker 1: she just would. She was just doing these little digs digs,
Speaker 1: digs digs, and he and he took the bait.
Speaker 15: I mean yeah, And you have to really give the
Speaker 15: credit to Harris, her campaign team for preparing as well
Speaker 15: as they did with as wide a birth as they had.
Speaker 15: And we're in a really arming Harris with lines that
Speaker 15: proved to be effective in playing to Trump's soft underbelly,
Speaker 15: which is his you know, his ego, his sense, his
Speaker 15: enlarged sense of self, and the idea that what matters
Speaker 15: to him is the crowds that come to his rallies.
Speaker 15: And Trump went down that line and then took it
Speaker 15: again in a bizarre turn, bringing up off the all
Speaker 15: things most Americans have never heard of. You know, this
Speaker 15: comes out of the right wing echo chamber, and if
Speaker 15: you live on Twitter X and you follow Republicans, there's
Speaker 15: a good chance you've seen these memes they're called these days,
Speaker 15: there's you know, these graphics of increasingly made by artificial intelligence,
Speaker 15: that show Trump with cats, what does it all mean?
Speaker 15: Where does this come from? Most Americans don't live in
Speaker 15: that space. They have no idea what he's talking about,
Speaker 15: and so he says such things as migrants are eating
Speaker 15: cats and dogs and there's no evidence of it, and
Speaker 15: it becomes part of our American political history.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 1: I think though that you know, Trump spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time on immigration, but I don't think he got
Speaker 1: any credit for it.
Speaker 4: But I think he.
Speaker 1: Wanted to push that because that's such a huge thing
Speaker 1: for him, and I think that he made some great points.
Speaker 1: But like you said, he kind of you went off
Speaker 1: the rails, and Harris seemed so, I don't know, not
Speaker 1: necessarily calm, but she knew what she was going to say.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she memorized everything, but she sounded
Speaker 1: like she almost sounded scripted to me, like she just.
Speaker 15: Oh, yeah, listen. There's no doubt that her preparation had
Speaker 15: her memorizing things and she was able to recite the
Speaker 15: prepared lines, and maybe she could do it again. I mean, look,
Speaker 15: she wants to have another debate because she wants another
Speaker 15: chance for Americans to see it, and closer to the election.
Speaker 4: Well, Trump wants to have more debates too, So.
Speaker 15: He did until this morning when he said he's having
Speaker 15: second thoughts about that. Let me quote him directly here.
Speaker 15: He says, I'm not inclined to do it. Yeah, because
Speaker 15: he says he won the debate by a lot. He
Speaker 15: says his argument is that you know, when a fighter loses,
Speaker 15: they want a rematch, but when a fighter wins, you
Speaker 15: walk away with the win. So he says he won
Speaker 15: last night. He in fact, he calls it one of
Speaker 15: his best debate performances.
Speaker 1: Ever, I don't know about that. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: he said that. I don't know about that. I think
Speaker 1: she got under his skin and it showed.
Speaker 15: I think she got under his skin and it showed.
Speaker 15: I think that's a fair assessment. Look at the same time,
Speaker 15: Trump tried to prosecute arguments against Harris. In his final
Speaker 15: closing argument, he said, what a lot of his supporters
Speaker 15: wish he had opened with this idea that Harris has
Speaker 15: been in office for three and a half years. She's
Speaker 15: talking about the economy. He did try to bring up
Speaker 15: the price of household goods and food in particular, but
Speaker 15: you know, it was not a consistent line throughout the
Speaker 15: debate because it didn't be, in part because the topics
Speaker 15: that were brought up put Trump on the defense. A
Speaker 15: lot of conversation about election denihalism in January sixth, which
Speaker 15: are not Trump's strong suits. He went right off into
Speaker 15: the idea that he won the election in twenty twenty,
Speaker 15: which he didn't. More people voted for Joe Biden than
Speaker 15: Donald Trump, and he, you know, simply doesn't believe it
Speaker 15: in narc these otherwise, and even went so far as
Speaker 15: to say that he wasn't even offered the opportunity to
Speaker 15: make his arguments in court because the judges throughout the
Speaker 15: cases on standing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well so, Stephen Portnoyse says.
Speaker 4: The pundits say right, it was a win for Kummela.
Speaker 4: She did what she needed to do last night.
Speaker 15: I mean, I think that it definitely was a better
Speaker 15: night for her than it was for Trump. I think
Speaker 15: that it advanced her interests from a campaign standpoint. I
Speaker 15: don't know necessarily whether it will change the dynamic of
Speaker 15: the race, because Americans' views of Trump at least are fixed.
Speaker 15: The question is whether people who may have been skeptic
Speaker 15: about Harris, we're convinced last night that they can support
Speaker 15: her if they were not necessarily certain that they should.
Speaker 1: Okay, Stephen Boortnoy is saying, thank you so much, appreciate it,
Speaker 1: Glad we got to talk to you today. Uh Neil
Speaker 1: Savedra and I are going to do something really crazy.
Speaker 4: We're going over the edge.
Speaker 1: We're actually we're going to be doing this for Union
Speaker 1: Rescue Mission to raise money for them. They have some
Speaker 1: fabulous programs to help homeless people become not homeless anymore,
Speaker 1: and they really focus in a lot on the people
Speaker 1: who want the help, and that is so important to me,
Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons that I'm getting behind this.
Speaker 4: But we're going to.
Speaker 1: Be repelling down the Universal City Hilton, like twenty four
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty five stories, but maybe that's because
Speaker 1: they don't count the thirteenth floor because there is it one.
Speaker 1: But anyway, twenty four to twenty five stories. We're going
Speaker 1: to repel down the side of the building to raise
Speaker 1: money for the Union Rescue Mission and we wanted to
Speaker 1: give you a little sneak peek of what it's going
Speaker 1: to look like. So if you would go to my
Speaker 1: Instagram at Amy K King or at KFI AM six forty,
Speaker 1: we show you where we're going to start from and
Speaker 1: kind of where we're going to end up. We're going
Speaker 1: over the edge, so we can just help one. We
Speaker 1: can't help all of the homeless people. We can't solve
Speaker 1: that alone, but you know what, we can make a
Speaker 1: donation and we can help one. So that's what we're
Speaker 1: asking you to do. You can get a link to donate.
Speaker 1: It's at Amy K King and of course I would
Speaker 1: love it if you follow me. We're going over the
Speaker 1: Edge on September twenty seventh. We'll be telling you more
Speaker 1: about it and please donate if you can. This is
